PAPER-VESSEL PACKAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 22, 1919.

Application filed January 6, 1919. Serial No. 269,757.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLOUGHBY F. HILL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Vessel Packages, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to pack paper finger bowls and similar vessels so that they will be preserved in perfect con dition until required for use and then are accessible and immediately available. This object is accomplished by my invention, wherein I take a cardboard spiral tube which is closed at one end with a cap and through the open end I insert such vessels which are hot and nested together and fit the tube. These vessels are rammed by any suitable instrument and forced into position until the tube is filled and then it is sealed with a cap. The vessels then cool, set and remain indefinitely until needed when the top cap' is removed as well as enough of the tube to release the required number of vessels, all of which are always found in perfect condition. They are not distorted as they would be if not so confined while hot.

For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to be had to the accompanyin drawings, forming a part hereof, in whic Figure 1 is a side elevation of my package with a part of the tube removed.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

My improved package 1 is composed of vessels 2 which are nested and rammed while hot into a spiral tube 3 which they fit with a snug fit and they are forced into position until against the bottom cap 4 and until the tube is full or filled to the desired amount when preferably, but not necessarily, a second cap 5 is employed to seal the package. As the vessels are forced in while hot they cool and set in the tube and so obtain and keep their true shape and sanitary condition. When required for use, the top cover is removed, the spiral wall of the tube is torn away to the desired extent and the required number of vessels removed. The others may remain for future use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

A package composed of a spiral tube with nested paper vessels fitting snug therein, said vessels at the time of packing, having a tendency to deform so that the vessels will set true in the container.

WILLOUGHBY F. HILL.
